Unique charity serves up dignity with rare immigration services
Located on Lexington Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, St. John’s Bread & Life Program has been responding to the needs of poor and disadvantaged for the past 30 years.
Founded in 1982 as a work of the St. John the Baptist Parish, Bread & Life’s mission has been to address the issues of hunger and poverty in Brooklyn and Queens. Bread & Life has now expanded its reach into the community by opening up a new 26,000-square-foot facility, operating a Mobile Soup Kitchen, providing nutrition counseling, a legal clinic and numerous other social services.
